rog phone 3

With games like COD Mobile and PUBG Mobile (also, RIP PUBG Mobile) pushing the limits on our smartphones, a new smartphone category has been introduced -- gaming smartphones. And one of the best contenders in that space currently is Asus with its ROG phones.

We tried out the ROG Phone II last year and totally fell in love with it. And this year we¡¯ve got our hands on the ROG Phone III. Has Asus made its best and most powerful smartphone better? Let¡¯s find out. Here¡¯s what I liked and disliked about the Asus ROG Phone III.

What I Liked

A super-smooth display

ROG Phone III maintains the tradition of pushing the refresh rate of the screen. This year, we¡¯re seeing it touch 144Hz with 650 nits of brightness.

The 6.6-inch OLED panel is still full-HD with a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. The screen still sits away from notches and has minimal forehead and chin, which only helps while gripping on to the screen, eliminating unnecessary touches.

Top of the line specifications

Just like last year and the year before that ROG Phone III comes with the best of specs on offer. We¡¯re looking at Qualcomm¡¯s powerful 865+ octa-core processor, overclocked to i.8GHz with Adreno 650 GPU. The processor is paired with up to 16GB of RAM. All this translated to a user experience that¡¯s too fast to handle. Whether it was gaming on the highest settings on PUBG Mobile or COD Mobile or even Fortnite, the phone didn¡¯t break a sweat.

The ventilation holes at the back made sure that the phone wasn¡¯t getting too hot, and overall it was a comfortable device to hold on to, even under immense stress.

Air triggers

The ROG Phone III gets air triggers around the edges just like its predecessors that allow you to map them for either shooting or zooming into opponents. These can come in handy as they help you keep your fingers away from the screen while allowing you to eliminate opponents with ease.

A battery that doesn¡¯t quit

Powering the monstrosity is a 6000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging. Even with 144Hz on, the device manages to give nearly two days of battery life with casual gaming and constant connectivity to the internet. My main usage involved browsing social media and watching YouTube or streaming shows/movies. Your mileage, however, could vary.

What I disliked

No headphone jack

For a phone that is designed for gamers, the phone has let go of the headphone jack, forcing gamers to switch to wireless alternatives. Asus does provide a Type-C to headphone jack dongle, but I would have really appreciated it if they would have retained the headphone jack.

Heavy AF

Just like the previous two iterations, the ROG Phone III is really heavy, coming at a whopping 240 grams. Sure, the glass and aluminium chassis is expected to put some heft to it, with the ginormous screen, but it is something you should definitely think about, as I couldn¡¯t use the device single-handedly with ease.

Mediocre camera for the price

This was expected considering the phone has its focus on performance and aesthetics. You get a 64-megapixel primary shooter, a 13-megapixel ultrawide shooter and a five-megapixel macro shooter. At the front, you get a 24-megapixel shooter.

The camera captures decent images in daylight.

However, in low-light conditions, the cameras show a considerable amount of noise.

Also, the ultrawide shooter loses a considerable amount of detail in the edges. The macro shooter, on the other hand, was just terrible.

Overall the cameras aren¡¯t that bad but don¡¯t expect it to shoot images like OnePlus or the iPhone 11.

Should you buy ROG Phone III?

ROG Phone III is a really good flagship device that offers the best for a mobile gamer. And in my opinion, if you¡¯re a gamer, you will truly love the phone. The powerful hardware paired with air-triggers on the edges to add dedicated inputs for gaming, the edgy aesthetic as well as a large screen can come in handy. Starting a price tag of Rs 49,999, it's loaded to the teeth.

However, if you¡¯re a non-gamer, I¡¯d recommend you check out OnePlus 8 Pro as not only the performance difference between the two won¡¯t be massive, it has a killer camera and a curved screen with a higher resolution display that looks even more gorgeous while being slightly lighter to hold on to.
